Many of the following wines are widely distributed in wine retail and supermarket stores and most are currently
available. They are often discounted below the listed prices. Pinot Noirs priced at $60 and more have been
decried as the “dead zone” because the poor economy in recent years has made it difficult to sell wines in this
price category. The wines below, however, can be considered to be in the “fun zone,” and scoring these wines
can make you feel good about skirting a punishing economy.
